Y’all are as bad as Reddit. Yes I see it. No it’s not intentional.

Thanks! This is my second. The first was okay and this one was much better.

I think you are on to something here. Saw online somewhere that thin veneers can be made by edge planing a board. The strip can then be glued and wrapped around the tenon to take up the extra space. Think this is what I’ll try.

Thanks for replying. I’m curious how the screws hold up. In my experience I’ve only seen metal fasteners damage the joint even more as it flexes.

 

I’m repairing a chair and the joints are a bit on the loose side. I was hoping to try Titebond liquid hide glue to put it back together for the long open time and to make future repairs easier. Does anyone know if hide glue fills gaps better than pva? I know epoxy is usually the go-to for gap filling but I’d rather give myself more time than epoxy usually allows if possible.

Alternatively, is there anything I can put in the joint (like fabric) that would tighten it up?

There doesn’t seem to be a straight forward way to set up a tv tuner.

I’m also dual wielding. I think the only thing really keeping me on plex is there doesn’t seem to be a straight forward way to set up a tv tuner.

In the US most woodturning/woodworking supply stores carry kits. In this case I took the guts from a Harbor Freight screwdriver, turned a new handle out of cherry, filling the cracks with colored epoxy, made a ferrule from a brass plumbing fitting, and put it all together. The handle is finished with Danish oil.

Yes, quite handy.

I would say six in one. Two sizes cross, two sizes flat, and two sizes nut driver.

I’ve done this with great success on kitchen cabinet hinges. I didn’t drill them out, just broke off wooden toothpicks to match the depth of the hole, covered with wood glue, put them in the hole, then put the screw back in. Works amazingly well.

I have not made one but I’d be open to a commission if it was within my capabilities. I might need more to go off of than that one picture.

I don’t know if direct messages are a feature with kbin but you can also contact me through my Etsy store
